Computerized systems and methods for predictive resource control and allocation from a centralized database

Abstract

In some embodiments, the present invention provides an exemplary computer system that includes at least the following components: at least one processor; a non-transitory memory storing software instructions; and where, when executing the software instructions by the processor, the computer system is configured to perform at least: controlling a plurality of first software objects; controlling a plurality of second software objects; controlling a plurality of third software object; where each software object includes at least one property programmed with at least one trigger condition and at least one programmed action; where the at least one pre-programmed action is configured to dynamically change a value of at least one property of at least one other software object based on: i) the at least one trigger condition; and ii) a value of at least one other property.

         21 . A system comprising:
 one or more computers comprising one or more processors and one or more non-transitory computer readable media, the one or more non-transitory computer readable media having program instructions stored thereon that when executed cause the one or more processors to generate one or more graphical interfaces (GUIs), wherein the one or more computers are configured to:
 receive, by the one or more processors, one or more request for pricing (RFP) responses; 
 derive, by the one or more processors, initial allocations for the one or more RFP responses based on buyer spend data; 
 display, by the one or more GUIs, a first purchase plan on a purchase planner utility, the purchase planner utility displaying a set of initial allocations as part of the first purchase plan; 
 enable, by the one or more GUIs, a user an ability to execute modifications to the initial allocations in the first purchase plan displayed on the purchase planner utility; 
 alter, by the one or more processors, sections of the purchase planner utility based on the modifications to the initial allocations; 
 display, by the one or more GUIs, a second purchase plan based on the modifications to the initial allocations in the purchase planner utility. 
   
     
     
         22 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility uses the initial allocations, a seller RFP response, and a list of product cross-references to display the first purchase plan.   
     
     
         23 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to finalize a set of product selections and spending allocations generated when a buyer chooses to generate one or more contracts.   
     
     
         24 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the first purchase plan includes planned product selections, spending amounts, and product spending allocations for each of one or more committed pricing agreements.   
     
     
         25 . The system of  claim 24 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to dynamically load and update the second purchase plan as a buyer completes multiple RFPs.   
     
     
         26 . The system of  claim 24 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to generate a price response on the one or more GUIs by applying a pricing model to product price information.   
     
     
         27 . The system of  claim 26 ,
 wherein the price response defines a relationship between one or more contract parameters and a set of discounted prices for one or more products.   
     
     
         28 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility operates to determine a set of product selections, market share allocations within the set of product selections and contract commitment values to optimize spending for a buyer for a particular product, particular set of products, a product category, or a set of product categories.   
     
     
         29 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to display pricing that reflects a market share level of a particular supplier.   
     
     
         30 . The system of  claim 29 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to notify a buyer that a selected purchase plan does not meet one or more selected goals.   
     
     
         31 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to display a set of committed pricing agreements corresponding to product selections and spending allocations displayed in the one or more GUIs.   
     
     
         32 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the purchase planner utility is configured to generate a list of product cross-references.   
     
     
         33 . The system of  claim 32 ,
 wherein the product cross-references include valid cross-references for one or more pricing responses.   
     
     
         34 . The system of  claim 32 ,
 wherein the list of product cross-references includes a global list that is equally applicable across all potential purchase plans.   
     
     
         35 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the initial allocations include one or more of a buyer's current product selections, supplier selections, and product purchase allocations.   
     
     
         36 . The system of  claim 21 ,
 wherein the initial allocations are derived from a buyer's current spending on products associated with one or more RFPs.   
     
     
         37 . The system of  claim 36 ,
 wherein the initial allocations reflect a buyer's product selections, sales volume, and product purchase allocations.   
     
     
         38 . The system of  claim 37 ,
 wherein the product purchase allocations reflect which products the buyer intends to purchase to meet a need for a particular product identified in one or more RFPs.   
     
     
         39 . The system of  claim 36 ,
 wherein the initial allocations are derived from a supplier RFP response.   
     
     
         40 . The system of  claim 39 ,
 wherein the initial allocations are modified by the purchase planner utility to provide the buyer with a lowest overall cost based on a response of a seller RFP.
